Hi,

I want to ask a related question. In Excel for example, you could write a VBA routine and then password protect it so that people cannot see the actual program. Is there some way to password protect your stata ado/do files so that the actual code cannot be viewed?

Thanks
rajesh

A related strategy that you could consider is discussed here:
